COMMUNITY Students trick-or-treating for local food bank Ali Raza ADDOCk AISLE SQUASH HAM HOCkS H FILLETS SMOkED FRESH HUBBARD 7 | Stouffville Sun-Tribune | Thursday, October 27, 2016 aliraza@yrmg.com You might see some teenagers trick-or-treating on Halloween, but they're not looking for candy. Local students from Stouffville District Secondary School are participating in a campaign called "WE Scare Hunger", part of the school's WE Charity club (formerly known as Free The Children). On Halloween, students will visit homes and instead of trick or treating for candy - will collect nonperishable food items from around the community to donate to the Whitchurch-Stouffville food bank. "They (WE Charity) have campaigns like this that schools can do throughout the year to raise awareness, give back to the community, etc.," said Grade 12 student and club member Gabrielle Da Silva. "This is one we've done a few years now." A group of 30 students will be assigned to different neighbourhoods, ensuring food items are collected from all around town. Those homes selected will be given a notice prior to Halloween so they can prepare donations. Residents can also donate at SDSS. Once collected, the food items will be transported to the food bank with a vehicle supplied by Houston Ford. SDSS students have participated in "WE Scare Hunger" for the last four years. Science teacher and staff advisor Martha Schissler has led the campaign since the beginning. "It's one of the best clubs at the school," she said. "It's a great way to know the kids on a different level, outside of them being students." The WE Charity club at SDSS has done other campaigns; last year the club raised $15,000 for children's cancer. For students like Da Silva, the club offers a chance to help their community while engaging their passions. "I wanted to be human rights lawyer, so I'm very interested in the idea of helping people," Da Silva said. "This was the best way to become involved in the school. Having this opportunity is why I'm here." Stouffville District Secondary School is at 801 Hoover Park Dr. Residents can donate non-perishable food items at the main office. We'll have huge amount of our Smoked Ham Hocks for this weekend. Most folk use these to make soup, but my dad would simply boil them, remove the rind, cut the meat off the bone and enjoy them with buttered cabbage and mustard. The meat is sweet and succulent. The only time I've seen these on a menu outside of Germany, was in Ireland, out in the country, served with white beans. However you choose to have these, be sure you get them early enough because there will be a limited supply.
